A young man with curly dark hair, wearing a white kurta and a medal-like pendant, stands at the left side of a long table covered with a white cloth bordered by a multicolour woven stripe. Stacks of books and printed booklets with glossy covers, some showing a figure in orange or saffron, lie across the table, alongside small boxes and trays of items. A second man in white clothes bends over cardboard boxes on the floor at the right. A sign on the wall reads MAINTAIN SILENCE, SWITCH OFF CELL PHONES, CHILDREN UNDER 12 YEARS NOT ALLOWED, VIDEO-AUDIO & PHOTOGRAPHY PROHIBITED. Several people in white clothes stand in the background, and white plastic chairs are stacked at the left.
